My Colonia - bringing Malaysia and Germany closer together

My Colonia? What's that? A new type of Eau de cologne? A new single by a popular pop star in Germany? A new reality show in Cologne? Nope..nope..and nope...

My Colonia is actually the name for our German class newspaper that my friends and I have produced by ourselves with the help from our german lecturer, Herr Mainka..sila bangga skit arh.Why My Colonia?My as in the abbreviation for Malaysia..Colonia means Cologne in Kölsch language.So we decided to go ahead with the name My Colonia for our class newspaper..

Everyone worked hard for this class newspaper and really put a big effort into making it a reality...And Waaaaalllah...Hundreds of copies of the newspapers have been printed and sold to the students and workers in CDC..haha...hundreds ke? I think we only printed about one hundred copies and managed to sell 70 + copies in one day...Semangat lari sana lari sani....We sold the newspaper for one Euro each...and the money collected will be used to celebrate by having a barbecue party this coming weekend.. insyaallah.. yeay2.teruja woh..

How "My Colonia" looks like online..eceh bajet macam NST online...Bild.de and Berita Harian Online kan...
This is the actual newspaper before it was printed out black and white...Aww..If only we could print it in colour..would have that been awesome?

The Newspaper has a total of 16 pages.Enjoy!!!

I know right..the paper is in German..hoho..maaf rakan2..x dapat nak translate kot..banyak sangat.Yang penting page 13 to 15 ada Article by Nabil Aizat skit arh...hehe...if you guys have read my old post on "Disaster Dish on a Date", you would roughly guess that the article I've written for this paper is actually the same article but translated into German...hehe...


So that's it...Our own class Newspaper "My Colonia"....Till the next post...Tschüss und mach's gut!!!!

Angin bertiup sepoi - sepoi bahasa

 

Bila lagi nak rasa angin bertiup sepoi - sepoi bahasa kat sini kan....Bright shining as the sun the day was...Fresh and pollution-free air was offered to be enjoyed...and the magnificent green panoramic view to take one's breath away...An experience that will be etched in my mind forever...

Teringat Melaka la plak..

Houses that we passed through on the way to a restaurant, Hofgarten. Most of them are Ferienwohnung (Holiday/Vacation House).

Finally we arrived at the Hofgarten Restaurant....Everyone was freaking hungry after the long journey of hiking and taking photos..hehe

Mind-boggling Night !!!

Mind-blogging..eh x..mind-boggling.Why is that so? What really happened on the last weekend???

 Muka Teruja

My oh my...It was definitely an unforgettable night...Full of enjoyment, excitement, indulgence, anxiety and gloom...and finally a sense of relief...

So...the day started with a meeting point in Köln Hauptbahnhof(Cologne Central Station).I made a plan with Fizz, my senior from Krefeld(a place where I probably will be studying in) to join me on an excursion to the fun fair held in Köln Messe Deutz.We were going to meet my house mates, Rumitha and Darwin there.Tony, my german friend, joined us on this wonderful day..It was really a wonderful day..The sun shines bright...the temperature was about 18 degrees..colourful flowers bloomed...one word...awwwwww...

Such a big happy family...

Gambar teruja sorang2..."ngeeee"

People I'll be hanging out with the most once I entered Uni...My senior fizz and my friend Tony..

Lagi2...Fizz...my new partner in crime

That's Tony...Popular with the saying "Selamat Siang.... Saya nama Tony.... Iya..... Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuh????????!!

View of the fun fair from far

Go-Kart kat sini sngt best..pusing2 naek atas..pusing2 turun bawah..

Some of the rides at the fun fair..

Rumah hantu...x masuk pown sebab x best katanye..

The sweetest moment of the night...Hakeem won this lovely pillow with "I Love You" written on it..He gave it to Rumitha...ramai2 cakap awwww...

We ( the fantastic four in the pics) went to have our Dinner at Va piano, one of the best Italian restaurants in Cologne...

After the great Indulgence at Va piano..I was like so bloated with yummilicious Pasta and was getting ready to go home...And then suddenly out of the blue, Fizz realized that she had lost her purse...

Woh2..buat muka suspens skang...I was like..geela ramai penyeluk saku kat German ni...Darwin had just lost his wallet like four days ago...and now Fizz...Fizz was really at unease knowing the fact that she had just lost her wallet which contains her important cards - Mensa Card, Bank Card, Student Card, Semester Ticket, Insurance Card just to name a few...few ke..banyak kot..It was 11pm ++...the Fun Fair should be closed by that time.Even though we knew that, we took a chance and made our way to the Fun Fair again...Everything was dark except for few stalls..some of the workers were packing their stuff..we asked one of the guys there if we could enter the fun fair to look around for the missing thing...Thank god he allowed..Fizz remembered that she might have left her wallet at the bumper car stall...We went there but nobody was to be found..luckily we managed to find this friendly and very helpful guy, who was willing to call his boss just to ask whether he had found any missing purse...Alhamdullillah..the wallet was there and nothing has been touched...So unbelievable kan...I mean..If I were in her shoes, I would be like losing hope thinking that I lost my wallet at a fun fair..and in Germany plak..but the fact that we managed to find it back was really awesome..Kebaikan orang german...hurm..

Muka cliché orang hilang wallet memang camtu..teringat zaman I hilang wallet dulu..tsk2..

So that was it...the Mind-Boggling Night...the best phrase of the night by Tony.."It is never boring to hang out with you guys"...haha..adventurous kan...Till the next post..Tschüss und mach's gut!!!
